I am trying to make Christmas cards for the challenges I do. This is first time to use all these framelits, and these stamps. I had made cards before with them, but they were my girlfriends. These are first time to use mine, and not happy with how stained the polymer stamps are from using once! Also, I thought I make multiples, but this wasn't that easy, so not making more of these. I keep seeing everyone else's and really like all yours with the wreath and the window. Maybe I just make things more difficult than they really are. Still, this didn't turn out like I envisioned it.
This is for today's Free 4 All to go back to one of the first ten challenges. We are celebrating 300 Challenges already! This is for the first one for Textures, Colors & Patterns. My texture is either the brick wall, which I inked thru with the white craft ink pad. Or it is the punched fir branches. The color I don't use often is the Crumb Cake. The patterned paper is optional. But you could say I made my own pattern paper by doing the brick wall. Also since it is the first time to use these framelits and ink up these stamps, it is for the USEIT in 2015.
Didn't mean to ramble! TFL

I love your idea for this card, with the brick wall and the view of the tree through the window! I struggled with this stamp set and the framelits too but found it just took a bit (okay a lot :-)) of practice. Thanks for sharing!

I like your wreath and the window-box full of greenery, Sharon.
But I know how you feel - I rarely use my window dies even though I love what I see other people doing them, mine are never what I imagined.
